Once again thank you all very, very much for guiding me through this.

Here's what I changed:

- Dropped the executionorder per acidburn's advice
- Made the template phrased because I forgot to the first time

- Removed the search string from the template because I know how it works now (thank you again, acidburn)
- Added Paul's code snippet to add to the global template array
- Added JumpD's code to grab the template from cache
- Changed the hook to forumhome_complete

Things I'm not sure on:

- What/how the template actually gets added to the global templates, unless that's exactly what Paul's code does. I'm assuming that it's basically if you're on the index, then add s_n_t to the cache?
- If I took a step forward here.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="chris777_showinvisible" active="1">
<title>Show Invisible Users Online</title>
<description>Will add a count of invisible users in WGO.</description>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<dependencies></dependencies>
<codes></codes>
	<templates>
		<template name="silly_newbie_template" templatetype="template" username="chris-777" version="1.0.0">
		<![CDATA[
		<!-- Newbie Template -->
		<phrase>$vbphrase[online_invisible]</phrase> $numberinvisible  
		<!-- /Newbie -->
		]]>
		</template>
	</templates>
<plugins>
	<plugin active="1">
		<title>Show Invisible in WOL</title>
			<hookname>forumhome_complete</hookname>
			<phpcode><![CDATA[
				if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index') 
				{ 
				    $globaltemplates[]  = 'silly_newbie_template'; 
				}  
			$search_text = '$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)';
			$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,												$search_text.$vbulletin->templatecache['silly_newbie_template'],$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); ]]>
			</phpcode>
		<phrases>
		<phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">
			<phrase name="online_invisible">
			 <![CDATA[ Invisible:  ]]> 
			</phrase>
		</phrasetype>
	</phrases>
</product>

Again, very much appreciated.

My weekend plan is to get this all sorted out. (Quite the party, I know!)
